The Slowly Building Anger in the UK at the Government’s Handling of the Skripal Case

Anger, resentment and frustration building up in the UK as people realize they have been taken for a ride

And just in time the London-funded White Helmets divert attention to a different allegation of Russian-sponsored chemical attack

In her daily press conference on 5th April,
the Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman, Maria Zakharova, mentioned a
quiet resentment and fury that is building up amongst ordinary Russians
over the way the Government of the United Kingdom has handled the case
of Sergei and Yulia Skripal. Strange though it may seem, I sense a
similar feeling of anger and resentment building up here in the UK, as
it becomes clearer and clearer that the official narrative has little or
no connection with reality.

The
anger and frustration is increasingly being displayed on comment boards
underneath pieces reporting on the issue. And the feeling is not
confined to those who would normally be labelled “conspiracy theorists”.
It appears that even many of those who would not normally question
official statements can see that something is seriously wrong with all
this.

More specifically, from whence comes this feeling? Here are just 20 of the many reasons for this growing anger:1. It comes from being asked to believe frankly
outlandish claims – such as the one that is central to the whole
incident, that the Skripals, who are very much alive and well, were
poisoned by a military-grade nerve agent with a toxicity 5-8 times that
of VX.

2. It comes from the way that our Government
recklessly accused another country – a nuclear-armed country at that –
of committing a crime before the investigation into the incident had
established the most basic of facts.

3. It comes from the fact that the UK Government has
prejudiced and politicised the investigation with their claims before
facts, their verdict without evidence, their sentence without proof.4. It comes from the fact that the UK Government
refused to go through the internationally established protocols for
cases such as these. For instance, it only wrote to the Organisation for
the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) on 14th March — the same day
that Theresa May stood up in the House of Commons and formally accused
the Russian Government of culpability.5. It comes from the fact that the British
Government, which repeatedly speaks about what it calls “British
Values”, discarded some of the most basic legal concepts that have
formed a part of real “British Values” for centuries, such as due
process and the concept of innocent until proven guilty.6. It comes from the way that the British Government
has refused to allow those they have accused to see any of the supposed
evidence against them, preferring instead to use spurious and circular
nonsense such as the arsonist shouldn’t investigate his own fire.7. It
comes from the fact that the Government attempted to lead the public
into believing that the Skripals were poisoned by a substance that must
have come from Russia, because apparently only the Russians were capable
of producing it – a claim that is demonstrably false.

8. It comes from knowing that Boris Johnson was
quite prepared to lie to the public, and instead of facing up to his
misdeeds like a man and resigning, he has instead behaved like the great supine, protoplasmic invertebrate jelly he
is – to borrow his own phrase – slithering and twisting his way around
his own actions by acting as if nothing has happened, and that anyone
who raises questions about his fitness for office is working for the
enemy.9. It comes from the labelling of those who have
questioned the increasingly preposterous claims as “useful idiots” or
“Kremlin stooges” or even outright traitors, for even daring to ask for
clarification on the most basic points.10. It comes from the way that the media has marched
lock-step in line with the Government, refusing to ask the most obvious
and basic questions, such as the ones I set out here and here.11. It comes from the curious way that events seem
to “happen” only after other events appear to force them to “happen”,
such as the announcement of Sergei Skripal’s miraculous recovery from
being in a coma, which came a day after the leaked transcript of the
telephone conversation between Yulia and Viktoria Skripal in which Yulia
stated that he was well.

12. It comes from the way that attempts have been
made to make “facts” fit the narrative, such as the theory, first
touted more than three weeks after the incident, that the Skripals were
poisoned by a military-grade nerve agent at their front door – an
explanation which looks to be contrived in order to explain the curious
anomaly that Detective Sergeant Nick Bailey was said to have become ill
after visiting Mr Skripal’s house.

13. It comes from the fact that the Government and
the media have refused to report in any meaningful way on the connection
between Mr Skripal and Pablo Millier, his MI6 recruiter and fellow
Salisbury resident, and on Mr Miller’s connection with Christopher
Steele – author of the Trump Dossier. The connection may ultimately be
irrelevant to the case, but it is surely of interest at present.

14. It comes from the illegal and frankly immoral
way that the UK Government has repeatedly denied consular access to the
Skripals, which it is obliged to give under Articles 36 and 37 of the
1963 Vienna Convention and Article 35 (1) of the 1965 Consular
Convention.

15. It comes from the way that Viktoria Skripal, who
is quite obviously keen to see her uncle and her cousin, has been
denied a visa under some absurd pretence of her application not meeting
UK immigration rules.

16. It comes from the way that the Skripals appear
to be being denied consular access, denied access to their relatives,
and – so far as I can work out – denied access to legal representation.
In other words, it looks increasingly as if they are being denied the
most basic of legal and familial rights, and Yulia’s comments in her
conversation with her cousin on 5th April do not inspire any confidence
that this is not the case.

17. It
comes from the way that the existence of Mr Skripal’s pets was only
mentioned by the media on 6th April, and this only after Maria Zakharova
asked a pointed question about what had happened to them in her daily briefing of 5th April.

18. It comes from the fact that the condition of the
pets – a cat and two guinea pigs – has been almost blithely reported in
the media, despite the obvious truth that they died through neglect
whilst Mr Skripal’s house was effectively in the care of the
Metropolitan Police who are overseeing the investigation – did they not
even go in and check!

19. It comes from the fact that despite culpability
having been apportioned after a few days, it is clear that the
investigation has still not established the most basic of facts, with no
suspect being mentioned or hinted at, instead the public has been fed a
steady diet of increasingly outlandish and spurious claims about the
location of the poisoning – the bench, the restaurant, the car, the
suitcase, the flowers, the door handle, the buckwheat.

20. But most of all, it comes simply from that
feeling we are being taken for a ride, and are being treated like utter
imbeciles by a Government that feels it can make extraordinary
accusations and simply expect the public to “trust us”.
It pains me to say all that. But it is so. These are not the
observations of some tin-foil hat wearing anti-Government anarchist.
Rather, they are the sober reflections of a Burkean, small c
conservative — one who firmly in free and responsible Government, in the
rule of law, in due process, in innocent until proven guilty, and who
hates anything like the whiff of anarchy in the air.

Yet my fear is that as more and more of this sordid affair comes to
light, and as the bizarre and frankly reckless behaviour of the UK
Government comes in for serious scrutiny, that quiet sense of anger
which has been building up amongst a public that realises it has been
repeatedly misled, is unlikely to go away.
